Seventy or eighty miles west of Luoyang City, Xin'an County.

"Report——! General, people from the capital Biguiyuan said that it was rumored that the prime minister was killed in Luoyang, and unknown enemy soldiers appeared. The captain Wang Fang, who was stationed in Biguiyuan, was afraid that the enemy would attack Biguiyuan's important area and request the general to lead his troops to support him."

"What?! The Prime Minister is dead? How is it possible!" Duan Wei, the general in the head of the army, heard the soldiers below report and stood up immediately.

The soldiers who reported the news said in a singular manner: "According to the report of Wang Fang's Captain, the day before yesterday, the Prime Minister personally led 5,000 elite troops to attack Yuan Shao, Hanoi, but he has not returned yet. There are rumors that the Prime Minister was dead in Luoyang City."

Duan Wei's complexion was solemn, hesitating anxiously, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, hesitating.

A general below stood up and said, "General Duan, the prime minister is in trouble, so please lead the general to Luoyang to support him."

Duan Wei nodded and said, "General Li said so much, so I will summon troops."

Another general stood up and opposed, "General, no! Now people are just coming to report the news, but there is no military talisman. If the prime minister has nothing to do, and the general leads troops into Luoyang without authorization, it may lead to misunderstandings from the prime minister."

Duan Wei hesitated again.

At this time, a man below said in a solemn voice: "General, you can send someone to investigate the situation first, and the general leads his troops to Luoyang. If there is nothing wrong with the prime minister, someone will report the situation first. If there is something wrong, we can make great contributions and save the danger."

Duan Wei's eyes lit up, he nodded, and ordered: "Come here, come and beat the drums and gather the generals."

...

In front of Bi Guiyuan, Ji Ping asked Zhang Liao to rest, but Zhang Liao did not take the order to rest, but whispered: "Young Master, Dong Zhuo imprisoned the Yuan family in Bi Guiyuan, and now we have obtained it."

"The Yuan family lineage?" Ji Ping was stunned: "The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "There are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's elder brother, Yuan Ji, and the twenty-eight young men in the family."

Ji Ping frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Nowadays, the three princes of Guandong all have children of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao is in the north, Yuan Yi is in the east, and Yuan Shu is in the south. However, none of the three people wanted to save Yuan Wei, the current leader of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Ji.

In history, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers had a feud, but they did not attack each other on the grounds of Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji's death from the beginning to the end. It can be seen that the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu reached an agreement on the abandonment of Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji.

But I don’t know what Yuan Wei thinks now.

In a side hall in the palace in Biguiyuan, Ji Ping met Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor who had taught him the classics, and more than twenty of the Yuan family, all of whom were crowded here.

When I heard someone coming in, more than 20 people in the side hall looked over at the same time, and there were women holding children, all of whom were frightened.

A thin middle-aged man in his forties saw Ji Ping wearing a mask and Zhang Liao behind him, and asked in surprise: "Who are you waiting for?"

Only Yuan Wei sat there, without turning his body or raising his head, and sneered: "Dong Zhuo, is the deadline for the whole family of my Yuan family here? Hey, I am waiting for you under the underworld, and you will be sent to see me by Benchu ​​soon on the road."

"Benchu? Highway?" Ji Ping sneered: "A stupid pig or a dog captain can kill Dong Zhuo? What do you think? The Grand Tutor Yuan, who was abandoned by the stupid pig and dog captain."

The thin middle-aged man whispered beside Yuan Wei: "Uncle, it seems that he is not from Dong Zhuo..."

Yuan Wei was shocked, turned around, looked at Ji Ping wearing a hideous mask, and said in surprise: "Who are you?"

Yuan Wei, who was once the most powerful minister, was only fifty years old, but now he has long become gray-haired and haggard.

Ji Ping sighed: "I wonder what Grand Tutor Yuan thinks of your two good nephews who rebelled?"

"Treason for rebellion?" Yuan Wei was stunned, then laughed at the sky and said, "Benchu, the highway was originally intended to kill the rebel Dong Zhuo. It is really a matter of justice in the world. What is rebellion? It can be seen that the only thing is Dong Zhuo."

Ji Ping smiled: "You don't have to test my identity indirectly. I'm afraid you will be even more surprised if you know it. At the beginning, you agreed with Dong Zhuo and deposed the emperor and established the King of Chenliu Liu Liu Xie. Now Yuan Shao attacked Dong Zhuo in the name of deposing the emperor, opposing Liu Xie, and was praised by you as a righteous person. It's ridiculous! Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, isn't it said that you, the head of the Yuan family, is a rebel?"

Yuan Wei's face froze, he moved his mouth, lowered his head and couldn't speak.

"The Master Yuan, who is full of knowledge, has nothing to say." Ji Ping sneered: "When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fled from the capital and took away their wives and children, they kept your Master Yuan, Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, and the whole family. The Master Yuan may not be unaware of their ambitions. Perhaps he thought that Dong Zhuo was once your disciple and did not dare to touch you, so he dared to stay in Luoyang. Now he has suffered a hardship and has trapped the whole family in a dead land, but he does not know that he has the face to meet his ancestors in the nine springs?"

Ji Ping said word by word: "At the beginning, Yuan Shao secretly joined forces with scholars and forced the general to summon Dong Zhuo to Beijing, causing the disaster in Luoyang today. Your Yuan family should have been buried with Luoyang and the people who died tragically in the world. Isn't this God's will?"

Yuan Wei suddenly raised his head, looked at Ji Ping in horror, and asked again: "Who are you?"

Ji Ping did not answer him, but said lightly: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is not your parent-child after all. Now they have their own ideas and don't want you, the head of the sect, and the eldest son of the Yuan family to be on their heads, so they watch the fire from the other side and let Dong Zhuo kill you all!"

The thin middle-aged man, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's elder brother, Yuan Ji, the eldest son of Yuan's family, had a hint of hatred in his eyes when he heard this, and then he felt depressed and unwilling again.

Ji Ping wandered for two steps and looked at Yuan Wei. Yuan Ji: "Now you have two ways. One is to kill everyone in the family to pay tribute to the people in the world who suffered because of Dong Zhuo. The other is to be loyal to me, rescue the people of Luoyang, and atone for the Yuan family, the famous family of four generations and three dukes."

Yuan Wei trembled and looked at Ji Ping in shock. His mouth moved and he said nothing.

Yuan Ji looked at Ji Ping, with an expression of ecstasy in his eyes, looked at Yuan Wei, and shouted loudly: "Uncle!"

The Yuan family in the hall looked at Yuan Wei and Ji Ping together, their eyes full of anticipation and begging.

Ji Ping wore a mask and had no expression on his face, and Yuan Wei was silent.

"Uncle, please pity my bloodline." Yuan Ji plopped and knelt in front of Yuan Wei.

"Head of the Family!" "Old Master!" More than 20 Yuan clan members in the palace immediately knelt down.

Yuan Wei turned his head, looked at their expectant look, his mouth moved, looked at Ji Ping, hesitated, and fell to the ground: "Yuan Wei is willing to be loyal to the king."

As soon as this sentence was said, Yuan Wei seemed to have no strength and was shaking. Yuan Ji, who was beside him, hurriedly supported him.

Ji Ping nodded: "Get up, since I am loyal to me, I must do things first. Although I am now severely attacking Dong Zhuo, there are still Dong Zhuo's heavy troops on all sides of Luoyang. I need you to settle the people and manage government affairs."

Although he had Min Gong, hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang were too busy with Min Gong's qualifications and staff. Since he met Yuan Wei's family, he asked the old man to help manage internal affairs and appease the people first. This is exactly what he is good at.

Min Gong made a free move, mainly responsible for immigrating to Dongyuan and Shangdang County.

Yuan's family survived the death of death, and was overjoyed, with gratitude in their eyes, and they all bowed to Ji Ping: "King."

"Get up." Ji Ping nodded and told Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, first settle the women and children of the Yuan family, and then send personal guards to protect the Grand Tutor Yuan and Grand Maid Yuan, and settle the people as soon as possible."

After saying that, he was about to go out, and then Yuan Wei's voice came: "Now that I have been loyal to the king, I would like to ask the king to give him the title of honor."

"People call me King Shenwu." Ji Ping said lightly without looking back: "You should be loyal to me."

After leaving the side hall, Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know if he let Yuan Wei's family go, but looking at the women and children, as well as the haggard old man Yuan Wei, he couldn't bear to take action for a while. Maybe, keeping them, especially Yuan Ji, would bring some surprises to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers in the future.

"Wenyuan, you can go and rest." Ji Ping smiled as he watched Zhang Liao settle down the Yuan family and come to him.

Zhang Liao bowed and said, "Young Master, it's not the time to rest now, please follow me."

Ji Ping was a little curious, so he followed Zhang Liao all the way to the depths of Bi Guiyuan.

Behind Bi Guiyuan, looking at the mountains of food and supplies piled up in front of him, Ji Ping took a breath.

There is nothing else, there is too much food and supplies! The food is enough for 100,000 people to eat for more than half a year, and the supplies are enough to be equipped with tens of thousands of troops.

It seems that I have gained a lot this time!

Ji Ping was so happy that a chill suddenly rose in his heart and said in a lost voice: "Duan Wei!"
Chapter completed!
